I'D. RECORD:

Mormon literature, and ID about convert
ing some Of our worthy citizens to that
religio politico and animal organization.
Well, let US inquire into the principles
Of this organization, called Mormonism.
That that Mormons call their first prin.
ciples are similar in subsistence to the
first principles Of all other religious or
CARNATIONS, but, like other religions do
they bear good sound fruit. Because,
"by their fruit ye shall know
them" The Book Of Mormon probably
is readable as romance; the general
tenure OF it recommends truth, honesty,
justice and virtue; it bitterly condemns
some Of the practices Of the Mormons,
showing clearly that the Mormon leaders
have but little faith in its teachings.
Then comes the book of Doctrine and
Covenants. This book is conglomerate.
First, it starts out by declaring that
God is all wise. that He is Interchangeable,
that the least variableness in Him would
destroy all faith in them. Correct. Bat
in that book God is made to say. 81
give commandment and l revoke my
commandments at my pleasure; Doctrine
and Covenants, Sec. LXXv, paragraphs
6 and 7. Now, if God has to revoke any
of His commands, that would prove
clearly tina. He is neither all wise nor
Interchangeable. Also, according to this
book of Doctrine and Covenants, God
has made very great and special prom.
ises to the saints at various times, and
but few. il any. Of those promises have
been fulfilled, and excuses have been
made for their non fulfllment. All this
shows clearly that it is the production
Of man. Then there is that polygamous
revelation that violates every principle
Of their so.called religion as taught in
their books. According to that revel.
alton, after man becomes a polygamist
in practice he is entirely safe; it matters
not what be does or what crimes he com.
mits, so he don't shed the blood of one Of
Gods anointed Ia brother Mormon), or
deny the Holy Ghost, he is saved and
will "pass by the gods to his inherit.
ance." What a license to sin? What a
monstrosity! Again, it is as clear as
noon day that much Of the fruit Of this
tree, Mormonism, is deception, lying,
false swearing, swindling. murder and
adultery. Their own doings, teachings,
preaching, publications and the records
Of the United States courts, prove this
to be fact. They, perhsps, would not
lie or do any Of these wicked shinga
to their god or 10 their rules. because
they are taught by their leaders, and
the masses believe it, that they are not
in duty bound to obay any Others. That
it is heineous crime to disobey their
